A virtual console (VC) – also known as a virtual terminal (VT) – is a conceptual combination of the keyboard and display for a computer user interface. It is a feature of some operating systems such as Linux and UNIX in which the system console of the computer can be used to switch between multiple virtual consoles to access unrelated user interfaces.
